Trini burger joint owner killed in suspected ‘hit’
(Trinidad Guardian) The murder of Navindra “Nari” Chatoor, owner of South’s popular burger joint Chatoor’s Burgers, has been described as a “hit” by police.
Chatoor was killed on Monday night while at his burger cart at Cross Crossing, San Fernando, shortly after 10 pm.
A man dressed in black and wearing a hat partially covering the face walked up to him and shot Chatoor twice in the head at point blank range in front of other customers.
Chatoor is now the fifth member of his family to be killed and his murder came nine days before the threeyear anniversary of the death of his brother, Rishi. Chatoor leaves to mourn three brothers, who were said to be very distraught over his killing. Chatoor was also said to be expecting his first child with his common-law-wife in July.
A relative, who did not want to speak to the media, only described the incident as “very sad and shocking”.
On May 22, 2015, Rishi, 32, was killed during a shooting incident at a bar not too far from where he lived at St. John’s Village. Another man, Ishmael Mohammed, 60, was also killed in the incident and five others wounded. That same year, Rishi was charged with possession of an illegal firearm. Rishi’s murder was also a “hit”, police said.
On May 4, 2008, Kimraj Chatoor, 41, of Pancham Street, Borde Narve Village, was asleep at his home when men entered and brutally chopped him to death.
